Configuring NetBackup by using the NetBackup Administration Console

The easiest way to configure NetBackup is to use the configuration wizards. Choose the Getting Started Wizard to configure NetBackup for the first time.

This wizard calls up the following wizards:

Device Configuration Wizard
Volume Configuration Wizard
Catalog Backup Wizard
Backup Policy Wizard

The wizards help you process configure the basic properties of a NetBackup environment. After you complete these wizards, your NetBackup environment should back up clients and back up your NetBackup catalog.

To configure more advanced properties, you can use the NetBackup Administration Console. You also can use the Administration Console if you prefer not to use the wizards. Alternatively, you can use the wizards to configure the basic properties and then use the Administration Console to configure the more advanced properties.
